2 levothyroxine questions
1. The recommended dose for levothyroxine is 1.6mcg /kg of body weight. Are most thyroid patients on this dose? 2. If I wanted to switch from T4/T3 combination to only T4 medication to check if my conversion has improved after making healthy changes for a year, how long would I have to be on T4 only

Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been betterā¦ I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks Iād read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

Morning everyone, Itās been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but Iām still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning.

Long term -confused - Thyroid & pain in neck?
Hi, I'll try and be brief. It's been over 3yrs since I thought I had a thyroid problem. I was fobbed off with antidepressants and it took me years to get off them. I am still having problems and I know it is not just anxiety! I suffer with DPDR - dissociation. I feel spaced out often and disconnected

Can I hope for a totally different result? Has anyone gone from NOTHING first round and then had a decent result on the second round? As I approach my second nhs icsi cycle Iām anxious, nervous and hopeful that I will get a better result this time. We collected three eggs which were quite small

Why do I suddenly feel terrible but still taking Armour?
I have been happy as a clam and able to function and be part of the world since I started Armour two grains a day in Sept 2022. This was after a year on levo that did nothing for me. Around Xmas 2023, I started feeling sluggish and constipated. Bloods were done mid Feb through my private thyroid doctor
